Updated to 18.7 from the team-xbmc PPA. kodi does not exist, cannot launch. Tried this on our HTPC and on my laptop to confirm - there is no binary.

After installing 18.7:

bash:
$ ls /usr/bin/ko* -al

Downgraded HTPC to 18.6 successfully:

Update - on the laptop, it looks like kodi-x11 was held back. Forcibly upgrading it solved the problem.

[script]sudo apt install --reinstall kodi-x11[/script]

Thread marked solved.
